East Ithaca Nature Preserve has a 1.3-mile loop trail. It's a nice place to visit year-round and a popular area to visit. The area is flat, and the pathways are well maintained in this forested area.

The Commons is a couple streets only open to foot traffic with sculptures, restaurants, a playground, historic district, and more. It has everything you could want from a downtown. There don't seem to be any places to lock your bike but you can walk it through the commons.

Cascadia Gorge is an absolute gem and the trail is spectacular from end to end. There is no official parking for the trailhead, but you can street park and walk in. The area is very well maintained and highly accessible with nonstop views. It's not the type of trail you would expect to find in a residential area.

This paved bike path takes you from the edge of Cornell University just over a mile to Game Farm Road. The path parallels Cascadilla Creek and is in the trees almost the whole way. This is a fantastic way to get out of town and into the green countryside east of Ithaca.

The falls form a multi-tiered cascade of water over 55 feet high that runs under your feet as you stand on Beebe Dam Bridge. The dam is just before the river and plugs Fall Creek to create a lake at the center of Cornell University.

The arboretum and botanic gardens run alongside Fall Creek for well over a mile end-to-end on a network of roads and well-maintained paths. Highlights include the wildflower garden, herb garden, crop garden, sculpture garden, and landscaped ponds, not to mention the arboretum itself.

Hartung–Boothroyd Observatory was begun in the 1930s and completed at last in 1974. It is primarily used to teach ungraduate courses at Cornell and sits at the summit of Mount Pleasant.

This is a lovely little old general store and local gem. Brookton's has good coffee, food, and an impressive selection of local beer and other spirits.
